Corner by Vystřelený Voko, Žižkov, Prague

In a no-through road, by Vystřelený Voko ("The Shot-out Eye") at Žižkov ("Žižkatown") guards a headless sentinel gate into hidden world of murky yards, urban wilderness by rail track and solid entrances into the Vítkov hill. There, brave soul may start a journey over kilometers of paths, which birds and small animals use to migrate into the center of Prague, by blind windows and high stairways sometimes seen from trains, into the world of torn-out cassete tapes, timeworn grafitti, plastic sacks in unpassable bushes and lost rail stations.
